【題目】

This month Angelina Horsefield writes about an animal rescue （援救） society in Australia: WIRES

WIRES （Wildlife Information and Rescue Service） began in 1985 when someone found an injured bird in a park in Sydney, Australia. At the time, no one knew how to help this “native” animal. WIRES help animals like snakes, kangaroos and, of course, birds. However, they can only help Australian wildlife, so they can’t help other animals like cats or rabbits. Like other animal rescue groups, WIRES need more people. I believe they are helping the local animals, but they can only continue if others join in. They hold excellent courses, where people can learn what to do when they find an injured animal. They also explain what happens to the animals in their care. Many of the people who help also lake care of the animals themselves in their own gardens or on their farms. I spoke to 15-year-old Guy McKenzie, whose dad helps WIRES in his free time. Guy told me about the work they do. “Dad usually gets a phone call at home and drives immediately to where the animal is, to rescue it. He has special equipment and always wears gloves. The animals are wild, after all.” Guy also talked about a woman who found a bat in her garden. She thought it might be dead but then she noticed that there was a baby bat too. Guy’s dad brought it back to the centre, where it grew into a healthy adult. Then, WIRES returned it to nature. Guy showed me a baby kangaroo that his dad was looking after and told me that one day he’ll be doing the same thing. Yes, he will, for sure.

【4】

推理判斷題。通讀全文，文章第一、二段提到澳大利亞的動物營救協(xié)會WIRES的目的是幫助澳大利亞的野生動物；第三段提到“… WIRES need more people. I believe they are helping the local animals, but they can only continue if others join in.”，說明WIRES需要更多人的加入；第四、五段以Guy的爸爸為例說明加入WIRES所做的工作。因此可以推斷，文章的目的是號召更多的人加入到WIRES，以幫助更多的野生動物。故選C項(xiàng)。
